Dad Update- 9

Today was a quick visit at the hospital for some pre admittance testing and a meeting with the anesthesia department. It was the typical blood pressure, and such, as well as an EKG to check out his heart. All went well and checks out 100% so he is set for his hernia surgery on Aug 2nd. The whole procedure takes about 6 hours, from the time he goes in, to the time he is released from recovery. I need to be sure that we are stocked up on ice and soup and things like that so that I don't have to run out and get anything once I get him home and comfortable.
